Dr. No Show
I started with a new therapist today.
He didn’t show.
I know this reads like a Richard Lewis or Woody Allen joke. But it’s totally true. He confirmed on Wednesday. I moved my day around (and will lose a bit of income as a result) because I really need therapy. And he didn’t show.

More information is needed. Why didn't he show?

I hope you wake up with fleas after your first session with him, you lousy ingrate!

Is he a “Delicate Genius” who likes to go skiing in the middle of the week?

He will claim it was a remote appointment.
Was it a remote appointment?

When you ask where he was, he’ll tell you you have attachment issues.

Therapy. Woody Allen mention and loss of income.

Are you Cluster B? Therapists hate dealing with them.

Therapists are like evangelicals--generally horrible people. Fuck him, OP! Eat a banana on a park bench. You'll feel chipper in no time!

Maybe it was a test. Just how serious are you about change?
How long did you wait in the office?
An hour?
Five hours?
A whole day

Was he a strict Freudian and made you pay for the missed session?

I'm sorry, OP. Unless he was hospitalized, or there was some miscommunication, move to another therapist. There really are excellent therapists out there. No time to waste on a flake.

I'm dealing with one not returning my calls to make an appointment. Mine moved and she gave me a referral but this cooter don't want my money I suppose. Do you wanna talk op? I'll listen.

Asshole. Keep looking. I’m sorry to say you have to pick and choose a therapist like any other service. It’s not fun, but necessary.

“I’m going to have to charge the doc $25 dollars for a no show. I expect a check in the mail within 30 days or I’ll send collections!”

I was looking for a therapist who specialised in grief - it was a nightmare trying to find anyone. Finally I made an appointment with one who I’d spoken to on the phone briefly. I was in a pretty fragile state but holding it together to the outside world. Anyway, she cancelled day of the appointment with a long rambling text about a sudden cluster headache - bitch if you had that sort of headache you wouldn’t have been able to message. She then had the nerve to send follow up messages about me making a new appointment. Punch and delete forever.
Hope you find someone OP.

People often become therapists because they are laden with their own problems. The experimental design types are the worst. Total control freaks. Take it as a sign you dodged a bullet and go forward OP.

Speaking of Woody Allen, a no-show might be for preferable to the therapist showing up amidst a major personal crisis.

Perhaps Dr. No Show was busy with his side hustle as a Bond villain.

Is this therapy a self referral or the court mandated kind, OP?

I read this as Dr. Now and pictured OP being fork lifted through the Houston Airport to the crane waiting to take her to the hotel.
